(1) The pari-mutuel pool for a horse race meet and for simulcast races of the race meet shall be an intrastate common pool; except that, if the simulcast races are received by an out-of-state simulcast facility, the pari-mutuel pool may be an interstate common pool, and, in that case, it shall be operated by the in-state host track conducting the horse race meet.
(2) An in-state simulcast facility receiving simulcast races from an out-of-state host track may participate either in a pari-mutuel pool into which only the pari-mutuel wagers on the simulcast races that are placed at the in-state simulcast facility are taken or in an interstate common pool. The commission shall permit an operator of an in-state simulcast facility participating in an interstate common pool to adopt the takeout percentage of the out-of-state host track for the interstate common pool.
